My mother, Diana, and my father, Mauricio, my siblings, Nathaly and David, and I are in Venezuela. My parents are discussing about our future and life. Now we are at the airport, my sister, Nathaly, is three years old and she is attached with a blue string to the left wrist of my mom. David, my brother, is five years old and he is attached with another string with yellow colour to the right wrist of my mom. I am one year old and I am attached to her chest. We are back in Colombia.

Since I came to Finland 8 years ago, those strings have started showing up in my mind as if they were following me. The strings have become stronger and have transformed into powerful connection structures. They have turned into cords. Throughout the time, I have started to think more deeply about issues such as migration and the reasons why I am away from my land and family. The connection and the understanding of my mom being the motor and the centre of all of us have been important and have affected meaningfully our present. The relations among us have transformed but the cords are not weaker, just the opposite, they are more rooted and expanding.

The Film & installation made by Paola, explores topics like family, migration, longing, motherhood.
